You folks ask a lot of questions.
Well, Mike has a lot of answers!
And he guarantees they will be the correct answers or your money back!
It's back to the basics this week on the Midweek Memo podcast as host Mike Maharrey answers some of the most common questions he's asked about gold, silver, investing, and economics.
Mike kicked off the show by reminiscing about the endless questions his kids posed when they were little. He said his kids' favorite question was asked in the car.
"The question was, 'How much longer?' Now, it didn't matter how far into the trip we were, this question always came very quickly. We might not even be out of the neighborhood yet, and one of those kids is asking, 'How much longer? How much longer till we get there? When are we going to get there? How much longer?' And so my wife at the time, we came up with kind of an amusing way to deal with this question, we would just answer 20 minutes. Didn't matter how much longer it was actually going to be, we always said 20 minutes... But my kids are grown now, and I'll be honest, sometimes I actually miss those dumb questions.
"Life is a little bit different these days, but not much, because I still get the same questions over and over again. I just get 'em from different people. Of course, it's not the same person asking the same question over and over again. But I do get a lot of the very same question from a lot of different people when it comes to the work I do here at Money Metals. So, I thought today that I would take a little bit of time and do an 'Ask Mike Anything' show and cover some of the precious metals questions and economics questions that I do get over and over again - kind of the frequently asked questions of Mike."
Before delving into the question, Mike talks a little about gold eclipsing $3,100 an ounce. That dovetails into the first quesion.
